CHAPTER 45: PLAYING THE ROGUE BY STRIPPING

Late at night, soaking wet and coming to find her, Gu Yuan had no particular reaction, only a faint snort of laughter.

She reached out to close the door, but halfway through, it was blocked by Chi Yu’s shoe wedged in the door gap.

Gu Yuan looked at Chi Yu, her tone a bit cold, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, you can leave."

Chi Yu looked at her, about to speak, but Gu Yuan added, "Don’t say things like you miss me. I’m still alive and thriving; I don’t want to be constantly remembered while I’m still living."

"...Yuanyuan."

He just looked at her like that.

Standing outside the door, looking uneasy, with no place for his hands and feet. When he called her name, his voice was soft and gentle, his head slightly lowered, yet his gaze was determined, like... like a golden retriever waiting for its owner to scold it after doing something wrong.

At this time, the village head brought a coat over, walking over to hand it to Chi Yu, "Young man, hurry and put this coat on, be careful not to catch a cold. The road won’t be clear until morning, and it’s inconvenient to go into town to see a doctor at night."

Chi Yu took the coat from the village head and said, "Thank you, village head."

"You’re welcome." The village head waved his hand and forgot what he was about to say, turning to get Chi Yu a cup of hot water.

Chi Yu didn’t mind the coat but didn’t put it on either. He tentatively asked Gu Yuan, "Can I come in to change? The clothes I’m wearing are also wet."

Gu Yuan refused, "It’s inconvenient."

Chi Yu didn’t listen, taking a step forward.

Gu Yuan kept a straight face, "Stay there."

Chi Yu stopped at her words, looking extremely innocent. So innocent that, for a moment, Gu Yuan wondered if she had done something wrong?

What a dog of a man!

"If Yuanyuan won’t let me in, then I’ll change right here." He shamelessly said, while starting to undress.

First taking off the wet coat, then unbuttoning his shirt, his hands were remarkably white and beautiful, with distinct knuckles. Gu Yuan had seen him unbutton his shirt many times, even helped him before...

When the shirt buttons were undone to the fourth one, revealing a hint of his chest, Chi Yu’s body was incredibly well-maintained, with defined lines and a sculpted physique.

Seeing him behave like a rogue, Gu Yuan averted her eyes, which just so happened to catch sight of someone approaching behind him.

Gu Yuan’s lips curled into a smile and she suddenly said, "Chi Yu, I’m closing the door."

Chi Yu’s whole body froze because Yuanyuan called his name.

Since their reunion, she ignored him, didn’t even spare him a glance. But now, she called his name!!

Chi Yu’s emotions surged, thinking she had forgiven him, thinking her words meant she was agreeing to let him in, he was about to step forward.

But then he heard Gu Yuan shouting in the direction behind him, "Village head, this person is undressing here, acting like a hooligan."

Upon hearing this—

Chi Yu: "..."

The village head was furious, "What??!"

Then quickly walked over.

When the village head came over, he had a cup of water, which was boiling hot, still emitting steamy white smoke, intending to let the young man drink it to warm up after getting soaked by the rain.

The village head walked over and started scolding Chi Yu, "I thought you were just a young man whose words stunk a bit, but who knew you were so foul all over? If I didn’t show authority, you wouldn’t know why flowers are so red."

The village head set the hot water aside, grabbed a broom, and came over.

Gu Yuan immediately closed the door.

Chi Yu: "..."
